so I'm probably miss tuning my 830s as well.
I simply tune the one knob for max noise on receive, switch to cw mode hit 
PTT and tune the other knob for the highest pitch when using the tw1 power 
mode tuning aid.
Radio puts out about 120 watts on all bands.

I don't know about the 102, but I can tune up my 101 easily with a tw1.
It has been a long time since tube theory, but how would underloading harm
the tubes?  I really don't think you would hurt anything, if you are
loading to heavy, the dip is harder to find.  I never did get hands on a
102, so don't know the radio.
